The republicans have been doing
some farcical and foolish voting on
the Senatorial question. Wonder if
they could get some of their candi-
dates to admit that there is a God,
or that the Chicago anarchists are
wrong. or even that they are repub-
licans? Is itprinciple or policy that
actuates them :?

Hon. j. u. Hagdns, House Of Dele
gates, Charleston, w. Va.
DEAR SIR The fisherman In
vincibles," the young mems Repub-
lican club Of this city, at recent
meeting appointed the undersigned
committee to write to you, express
ing the warm approval Of the club of
the resolution introduced by you in
the House last Wednesday relative
to the Canadian difficulty. This we
do with pleasure. The fair fame and
unimpeachable honor of the great
American Nation must not be the
object of British insult and prattle.
We feel pleased that you have acted
so wisely and believe that you voiced
the sentiment Of the people of the
State. West Virginia has reason to
be proud of the Trainer of such q
terse, pointed and patriotic paper.
War is not desired, but let us have
war rather than that the flag that
never yet has been dishonored or de-
feated, shall trail in the dust. The
Democratic administration is bad
enough, but English oficiousness
and braggodocio should be repealed.
This club admires your spirit and
feels that so long as you remain in
the Legislature the dignity of the
American people viii always be up
held, and the principles of the grand
old Republican party, mainteined.
Very Respectfully Yours,
U. S. GRANT PITzER,

A .JUST BLJL

In view ofthc fact that the recent
County Court declined to make any
appropriation to aid the town Of Mar
tinsburg, in making and repairing
streets and bridges, although the tax
payers of the town pay the regular
County levy, and really pay about
one-third Of the tax of the County
Senator Gettinger has introduced at
the request of the Council (S.B.147)
a bill which is equitable in every re-
spect, and has been made applicable
to all towns, and should be prompt
ly passed. The bill reads as follows:
BE 1t enacted By the Legislature of
West Virginia:
That the county court of any coun-
ty shall appropriate and pay over
annually to the corporate authori.
ties of each corporated town within
the county, which keeps in good re-
pair the roads, streets, alleys, side
walks and cutters within the same,
an equitable proportion of the levies
collected from the taxpayers of such
town for county purposes, that the
same may be applied under the di-
rection of said corporate authorities
for nece ssary repairs and improve
ments in the district Of said corpor-
alton.

provide arms and equipments for
the militia to become law without
his signature. The constitutional
limitation Of ten days within which
he should have acted on this bill ex-
PRED on Saturday. His failure to
sign the bin is regarded as an over
sight, as he was rot known to OBJ

BALTIMORE MANUFACroRIEs. - On
Monday last, having a few leisure
moments in Baltimore, we visited a
couple of factories, hoping at some
time to make the visit yield some.
thing beneficial to Martinsburg, We
visited first, the overall, drawer and
coarse shirt factory of Messrs. Juhn.
where about two hundred sewing
machines, driven by steam power and
run by girls, were in operation.
Great piles of made-up goods were
being turned out rapidly. A cutting
machine is used to get this work
ready. One machine attracted par
ticular attention. 1t worked and cut
the button hole just as fast as the
material could be fed to it. We next
called at the Chesapeake Shirt Fac
tory, originated by Mr.. j. Frank
Supplee, of the firm of Daniel Miller
& Co, and managed by Mr.. Charles
M. Miller. About IT'S girls we're at
work on the celebrated Diamond
Shirt They however make all
grades of white shirts. This is the
firm that through Mr.. Supplee and
III. c. Berry & Co, of this place, furn-
ished considerable employment to
this town, sending the SHIRTS here
cut and ready to make up. That was
the cheap kind and retailed at only
25 cents each and was intended to
lead the way by giving the necessary
experience, for the making of fine
and better shirts here. Both these
factories are crowded with orders in
excess of their capacity. Either one
of them would pay out six hundred
dollars per week, if located here and
that would go to the merchants, gro
GERS, butchers &c. in the cause of
business. Why is it that those who
are SO directly benefited to not or
game and locate some such enter
prise here?

'.THE President has again proven
himself the watch dog of the treas
ury, by vetoing the dependent or
more properly speaking, the plum
dering pension bill, which has late
~ passed Congress. "-Statesmaa.
Oh, no, SO he is a dog, is he? Well,
when the people come to pass an
opinion on his veto, he will be like a
dog with q tin-psn attached to his
extremity-he will want to die, to
flee to the mountains where the lion
roareth, the mugwump wumpeth and
the wangdoodle mourneth for its
young. The decrepid, wrecked old
soldiers, should not be made the
spite object of Il presidents veto, es-
pecially when a democratic Congress
has passed righteous bill. But
Cleveland has singular mania for
creating a rumpus in the Democratic
household. Even Manning was fore
ed TO leave his cabinet, to escape the
collapse Of the great, economical O.
administration.
